Immerse Yourself in French: Learn with All 5 Senses
To learn French naturally and effectively, it's important to stimulate different areas of the brain, hence the importance of gestures, movement and stimulation of the 5 senses:
- Touch: crafts, gardening, cooking, coloring, etc.
- Smell: cooking, outdoor activities, etc.
- Sight: videos, colors, illustrations, flashcards...
- Hearing: songs, nursery rhymes, stories, hearing different English accents...
- Taste: cooking, snacks...

Experience French: Learn Through Emotions
To learn French naturally and effectively, it's essential to get to the heart of your child's emotions: through music, friendship with native French-speaking children from all over the world (Penpals4kids pen-pal program), regular interactions with the French teacher during zoom classes, pedagogical hand-drawn visuals that can be personalized by the child himself...
All Lessons4kids illustrations (over 470 drawings!) have been illustrated by our daughter and can be downloaded as flashcards in our online shop Lessons&Book4Kids.

Lessons4Kids: An Enriching Program for Young Learners
All the educational content offered by French-Lessons4kids has either been created or carefully selected and tested with hundreds of children. Our French e-learning lessons and workshops are available online 24/7, for a period of 1 year from the date of registration. Each French lesson or workshop contains many downloadable (and printable) PDF resources that enable children to learn French offline (to limit screen time), develop their fine motor skills (for the youngest), creativity and stimulate their imagination.
The French-Lessons4kids e-learning lesson program is very rich (over 470 illustrated words or short phrases), as it is designed to be used over several years, as children grow.
Revolutionize Teaching Learning: Explore Alternative Methods
Lessons4kids French workshops are inspired by different pedagogies: Maria Montessori, Charlotte Mason, Reggio Emilia... In all these alternative pedagogies, nature is very important, as are play and creativity. Reggiane pedagogy (born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in the aftermath of the Second World War) promotes the active participation of parents.
Family Fun: Tips for Learning French Together
For tips on learning a foreign language, read my blog article Learning English is like climbing a mountain.
The effectiveness of the method has been proven. Parents, childminders and teachers - you are the actors. The more you invest (in time and emotion) in learning French with your family or in the classroom, the better the results. You don't need to be fluent in French to benefit from Lessons4kids. Even parents who know nothing about French can embark in the French adventure and learn with their children!
Always remember that consistency is the key to learning a new language. Add as much fun as possible, a lot of laughter and craziness, music and always use your 5 senses...
With all our programs and online offers, there's something for every taste, every budget and every level of French :) Discover all our courses here!
The key words for success are :
- REGULARITY

- ENTHUSIASM

Balanced Learning: Combining Screen Time with Offline Fun at Lessons4Kids
In today's digital age, screens have become invaluable tools for language learning. However, it's essential to balance screen time, especially for children. Excessive screen exposure can impact their development and well-being.
At Lessons4Kids, we understand this balance. That's why we offer a variety of learning resources, including engaging online content, as well as printables and fun, off-screen games. This way, children can enjoy a rich and diverse learning experience while keeping screen time in check.
And remember, Charlotte Mason said, "Never be within doors when you can rightly be without."
